He progressed from Game Boy and Tetris to more complex PC games after receiving his first computer. Badnjar attended primary school in Belgrade but began skipping classes during secondary school to visit gaming arcades, leading to more absences than attended classes by his second year.

Career

Danilo Badnjar, known as Choda, started his YouTube channel on January 24, 2013, under the username choda19anbg, initially focusing on League of Legends gameplay, which he began playing in Season 1.

Inspired by the rapid growth of fellow YouTuber Baka Prase (Bogdan Ilić), his hobby turned into a full-time career, leading him to drop out of high school to focus on content creation.

His early videos centered on gaming, but by 2017, he shifted to vlogging, reaction videos, and social experiments, including the popular series “Da Te Pita Brat” and “Koliko vredi tvoj outfit,” where he interviewed celebrities and passersby about their clothing costs. His League of Legends commentary for Fortuna eSports further boosted his profile.

In 2020, Badnjar released the single “Uđi u vodu,” a pop track that gained significant popularity in Serbia and the region, often performed at clubs and festivals.

He expanded his brand with merchandise, including T-shirts featuring his catchphrase “De niro neko,” and calls his fans “Delfinarija” (Dolphin Army), a term coined by Baka Prase in 2017.

Badnjar has filmed content across Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia, broadening his regional appeal. Notable videos include “Prekršio sam 100 zakona za 24 sata,” which sparked controversy for depicting illegal activities like public urination and selling items to minors.

He participated in the 2019 KAKTUS festival panel “Content Creator vs. Influencer,” discussing quality content and audience engagement.

Recent 2024–2025 activities include continued vlogging and gaming streams, with a Discord server for fan interaction. However, his career has been marred by controversies, including a 2021 police stop with Baka Prase and a 2023 video criticized for harassing children in a park, drawing significant backlash.
